FOOTBALL NEWS: Arsene Wenger sends message to his successor during final Arsenal press conference

Arsene Wenger used his final press conference as Arsenal manager to ask his successor to respect the club’s values and traditions once he is gone. The Frenchman is set to stand down after Arsenal’s clash with Huddersfield on Sunday, bringing to an end his 22 years at the club. The club are keen to appoint Wenger’s successor before the start of the World Cup, meaning there’s just a three-week gap between the end of the season and the first game in Russia. Arsenal have whittled their shortlist down to five names and Wenger has told his successor that he should respect his legacy to make himself a success in north London.
